the coleman tent survived gale force winds at bridlington, but one of my canopy poles broke. yesterday i found the pole and fixed it with insulation tape. is this likely to hold? i have been on the coleman website and cannot find any replacement poles. its not the end of the world if i cant use the canopy, but it was great last year and have only used the tent a few times so would be a shame to see it wasted coz of one split pole!!

I assume it’s a fibreglass pole so you may not need an original Coleman replacement, as you will find many options for replacement of the broken section. Most camping retailers offer pole sections or repair services.

Coleman (very big – dare I say iconic - in the USA) are only just gearing up in Europe. If you go to Coleman.com they have online purchasing and every spare part you can imagine, but only for the American region alas.

Things are looking up for us though. They recently have added “spares info” to their UK site, but it is being handled by a 3rd party company. Check here. Down at the bottom of the page you will see a link to the spares catalogue which includes the tent poles. I think it will be pricey though.

Coleman referred myself to their third party company for a spare pole earlier this year. So this is obviously the place to go if its not a standard fibreglass pole, which you can readily get spares for - just get the correct diameter and length or cut down.
